'GARTER TRIMMING.

Application filed October 22, 1921. Serial No. 509,662.

To all 'who/m, t may concern.

Be it known that I, RoswnLL A. Moons, a citizen of the United States, residingat VVaterhury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented` a new.

and useful Improvement in Garter Trimniings; and I do hereby declare'the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon. to be a full, clear, and exact description of theV same, and which said drawings constitute part'otv this application and represent in Fig. 1 A view in elevation of a embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 An enlarged view in transvers section on the line 2 2 ofFig. 1.

With these'ends in view, my invention consists in a garter-trimming having certain details of construction as will be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claim. Y

ln carrying out my invention, as herein shown, I employ a one-piece, sheet-metal'castoft' plate 10 having openings 11 separated by a central transverse bar 12 formed with a perforation 13 located on the inside of the major axis of the' plate, which is enough shorter than the width of the webbing used to form the loop 141 to permit the edges of the Vwebbing to be stitched at 15, so as to completely enclose the plate it desired, though would have it understood that-v this stitching is not necessary to the successful practice of my invention. v The webbing used for the loop 14: will, bypreerence,

correspond t0 the webbing used inthe legband 16, which has its inner end fastened to the pad 17 and its free outer end .provided withV acast-oii' eye 18 and a slide 19, by means of which latter the length of the leg-band 16 is adjusted, as maybe desired. The pad 17 is provided with any standard hose-gripping pendant 20. Y

The'webbing of the loop 14 is folded upon itself so as lto completely enclose the castoff plate 10, as shown in Fig. 2, the ends of the webbing being inserted between the face pieces of thefpad 17 and stitched in place as at 21. The saidplate forms acore for the loop, which it extends and maintains in flattened form and prevents from buckling or collapsing. YPrior to stitching the ends of the loop 14 into the pad 17 the cast- Voff washer 23 having been applied to the reduced end 4of the Vstud 22,' the same isl passed downward through the upper reach 24- of the webbing and through the perforation 13 in the plate 10 upon the lower face .of which the projectingrend of the rivet is headed, asv at 25,` whereby the upper reach of the webbing is pinched between the upper face of the plate 10 and the lower face of the washer 23, and whereby the head 25 of the rivet 22 is entirely covered andprotected by the lower reach 26 of the webbing. By locating the preforation 13in the plate 10 nearer the inner than the outer edge ot the same, and therefore accordingly locating the cast-oi stud in the finished article, I provide a bearing for the cast-off eye 18, which .is thus prevented Jfrom coming in contact with the leg.

It will thus be seen that, by a very simple and cheap construction, the cast-ofi plate is located entirely out of-sight and protected. This avoids the necessity of nishing the vplate and adds to the attractiveness of the garter, since it is desirable to reduce the amount of exposed metal to the minimum in high-class goods of the class to which this invention belongs. Y

I claim:

In a garter-trinnning, the combination with a loop of webbing, of an oblong-Shaper plate corresponding in length to the width of the webbing composing the said loop and corresponding in width to the length of the g f V 1,465,992
